Per Alex Prewitt, looks like the Caps will go with a similar lineup to the one that earned a big victory in Anaheim over the weekend, with a couple of tweaks – most notably the absence of Jason Chimera, as the veteran gets the night off. With that in mind, here’s a look at tonight’s probably lines and defensive pairings, with Braden Holtby back in net:
Alex Ovechkin – Nicklas Backstrom – Andre Burakovsky
Marcus Johansson – Evgeny Kuznetsov – Troy Brouwer
Brooks Laich – Eric Fehr – Joel Ward
Jay Beagle – Michael Latta – Tom Wilson
Braden Holtby
That leaves Peters back on the bench behind Holtby, Steve Oleksy, Aaron Volpatti and Jason Chimera sitting out as healthy scratches, and Dmitry Orlov and John Erskine still on the IR.
